Row  to  Reacb  €loudland  

Go  via  Southern  Railway  to  Johnson  City, 
Tenn.;  there  take  the  East  Tennessee  &  Wes- 
tern ISTorth  Carolina  narrow  gauge  railroad  — 
through  the  wildest  gorge  of  the  AUeghanies, 
four  miles  long  and  more  than  one  thousand 
feet  deep,  through  which  the  beautiful  Doe 
River  flashes  and  tumbles  —  twenty-six  miles 
to  Roan  Mountain  Station,  where  there  is  a 
'       nice,  comfortable  hotel  on  the  banks  of  the 
beautiful  Doe  River ;  thence  in  nice,  light  sur- 
reys an  entrancing  and  exhilarating  ride  of 
^      twelve  and  a  half  miles  up  Roan  Mountain  to 
Cloudland  Hotel,  squarely  on  top  of  the  Moun- 
^    tain,  where  you  have  50,000  scj[uare  miles  of 
territory  in  sight  below  within  a  radius  of  150 
miles  over  mountains  and  valleys  in  seven  dif- 
ferent  States,  the  veritable  "  Switzerland  of 
America."    No  pen  can  picture  the  grandeur 
^    of  the  mountain  view,  and  a  sunset  viewed 
^    from  Cloudland  after  a  storm  in  the  valley  is 
0^  worth  alone  a  thousand  miles  travel  to  see. 
j,,^      There  are  110  mountain  tops  in  sight  below 
-j^   that  are  more  than  4000  feet  high. 
^      Too  great  for  description,  too  lovely  to  paint, 
1^   it  can  only  be  realized  by  actual  presence.  Un- 


like  other  resorts,  one  does  not  have  to  go  otf 
the  porches  of  the  hotel  to  see  all  of  this;  and 
at  night  the  lights  of  the  hotel  cast  many  a 
weird  shadow  on  the  floating,  shifting  clouds. 

Clondland  is  one  of  the  few  places  in  the 
world  where  one's  shadow  can  be  seen  in  the 
clouds,  and  while  the  air  is  full  of  electricity, 
with  its  health  -  giving  influence,  the  lightning 
was  never  known  to  strike  on  top  of  the  moun- 
tain. There  are  no  snakes,  no  mosquitoes,  and 
none  of  "  the  little  pests  that  crawl  in  the  night 
and  fly  in  the  noonday."  Here  is  to  be  found 
the  largest  group  of  rhododendrons  in  the 
United  States!  Azaleas,  heather,  houstonias, 
and  thousands  of  other  rare  plants  and  flowers. 

It  is  the  paradise  of  hay  fever  victims,  as 
that  dread  disease  disappears  with  the  breath- 
ing of  the  mountain  air  and  drinking  of  the 
icy  cold  water  so  lavishly  aftbrded  by  the  moun- 
tain springs.  The  thermometer  ranges  from 
58  to  72  degrees  during  the  season. 

Here  you  are  6394  feet  above  the  level  of  the 
sea,  nearly  a  mile  above  Lookout  Mountain, 
Tenn.,  or  Hot  Springs,  'N.  C;  1200  feet  above 
Denver,  Col.;  4500  feet  higher  than  Asheville, 
C;  200  feet  higher  than  Mount  Washing- 
ton ;  three-quarters  of  a  mile  higher  than  the 
famous  Catskill  Mountain  House,  New  York ; 
5400  feet  above  Knoxville,  Tenn.;  5700  feet 
above  Chattanooga,  Tenn.;  5144  feet  above 
Tate  Springs,  Tenn.
